Grum - You Make Me Feel

Chopped and stretched until it stops being words, the vocal on You Make Me Feel becomes pure texture, and that processing is the smartest decision on the whole track. Grum has settled so completely into the Anjunabeats sound that he’s now one of the people defining it, that gleaming melodic-house-meets-trance hybrid the label made its signature. It rides a bassline that pulses with real forward motion under a melody designed to go straight for the emotional jugular. It’s euphoric without being naive about it, the kind of build that knows exactly how to delay gratification before the release at 2:30 pays everything off. I have a soft spot for this corner of dance music, the unashamedly pretty end of it, and Grum is operating near the top of that game. The production is crystalline, every element placed with obvious care. It’s the sort of track that sounds incredible at sunset on a festival’s second stage. Lovely and propulsive and quietly expert at what it sets out to do.
